[0084] In related technologies, the air flow demand of automotive fuel cells is mainly adjusted with load changes. When the fuel cell system of an aircraft flies at different altitudes, it faces not only load changes, but also changes in oxygen concentration. This change will directly affect the air flow demand of the system, and then change the speed requirement of the air compressor in the fuel cell system. If the influence of altitude factors is ignored, the fuel cell system may not be able to provide sufficient power support for the aircraft.

[0085] Even when the load remains constant, an increase in air flow will have a slight effect on the output power of the fuel cell. If this phenomenon is ignored in actual system control, it may not only lead to power waste, but also reduce the overall efficiency of the system.

[0086] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a fuel cell system control method, device, storage medium and electronic equipment aircraft, which fully consider the actual factors under different flight conditions, such as changes in oxygen concentration caused by altitude, etc., to ensure that the system supply can accurately match the power requirements of the aircraft under various flight conditions.

[0087] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fuel cell system structure involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the fuel cell system includes an electrical subsystem, a thermal management subsystem, a hydrogen subsystem, and an air subsystem. In the air subsystem, auxiliary components such as the air compressor are powered by the fuel cell stack. As the flight altitude of the aircraft changes, changes in the oxygen content in the air will cause changes in the air flow demand of the fuel cell, thereby changing the required power of the air compressor. Therefore, the present disclosure focuses on the power matching problem between the fuel cell stack and the air compressor, and proposes a fuel cell system control method that is applied to Figure 2 The fuel cell system shown.

[0088] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The present invention is a flowchart of a fuel cell system control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S11: Acquire the flight parameters of the aircraft, where the flight parameters include the flight altitude of the aircraft.

[0090] Step S12: Determine the target flight condition of the aircraft according to the flight parameters.

[0091] Step S13: Calculate the stack power requirement of the fuel cell system of the aircraft under the target flight condition.

[0092] Step S14: Based on the power demand of the fuel cell stack, control the fuel cell system to provide power support for the aircraft.

[0093] For example, the flight parameters may include the flight altitude, and may also include one or more of the flight speed, the operation of the throttle and the joystick, and the display of the horizon, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Correspondingly, the target flight condition of the aircraft may be determined according to one or more of the change in the flight altitude, the change in the flight speed, the operation of the throttle and the joystick, and the display of the horizon within a preset time period.

[0094] The determination criteria for each flight condition can be set and adjusted according to different aircraft and / or different flight environments and flight missions, and the present disclosure embodiment does not limit this. The present disclosure embodiment will not repeat the specific method for determining the target flight condition of the aircraft.

[0095] Through the above technical solution, the flight parameters of the aircraft during flight are first obtained, and then the target flight conditions of the aircraft are determined according to the flight parameters, and then the stack power required by the fuel cell system of the aircraft under the target flight conditions is calculated, and finally based on the stack power required, the fuel cell system is controlled to provide power support for the aircraft. In this way, the current flight condition of the aircraft can be judged according to the flight parameters of the aircraft obtained in real time, and then the stack power required by the fuel cell system under the condition can be predicted and calculated, and then the working state of the fuel cell is adjusted according to the calculated stack power required to ensure that stable and sufficient power support is provided for the aircraft. Through this method, the aircraft fuel cell system can better adapt to the power demand under different flight conditions, especially under extreme conditions such as high altitude areas and rapid climb / landing, and can still provide stable and sufficient power support for the aircraft, thereby improving the performance stability and reliability of the aircraft and avoiding the waste of system power.

[0096] In a possible manner, calculating the stack power requirement of the fuel cell system of the aircraft under the target flight condition includes:

[0097] Calculate the air flow requirements of the fuel cell system's air compressor under target flight conditions;

[0098] Determine the required power of the air compressor of the fuel cell system under the target flight conditions according to the air flow demand;

[0099] Based on the required power of the air compressor, calculate the required power of the fuel cell system stack under the target flight conditions.

[0100] For example, the operation of the fuel cell system depends on the amount of air that reacts with hydrogen to generate electricity. The air flow requirement is affected by several key factors, including the fuel cell stack power, stack efficiency, and reaction stoichiometric ratio. Given the specificity of flight conditions, these parameters may vary, so it is crucial to accurately calculate the air flow requirement that matches the conditions.

[0101] Secondly, in order to meet the air flow demand of the fuel cell system, it is usually achieved with the help of an air compressor. The power demand of the air compressor is not fixed, but changes dynamically based on the required air flow, the efficiency of the air compressor, and other relevant parameters of the system. Based on the previously calculated air flow demand, the power required by the air compressor under specific flight conditions can be accurately estimated.

[0102] Finally, based on the power demand of the air compressor under specific operating conditions, the required stack power of the fuel cell system to meet the target flight conditions can be further derived. This calculation process not only ensures the stable operation of the system, but also provides a scientific basis for optimizing the performance of the fuel cell system.

[0103] In a possible manner, the air flow demand of the air compressor of the fuel cell system under the target flight condition is calculated, including:

[0104] Determine an initial air flow requirement, where the initial air flow requirement is the air flow requirement of the fuel cell system under target flight conditions without considering changes in oxygen concentration;

[0105] Acquire a first change relationship, where the first change relationship is used to characterize a change relationship between oxygen content and flight altitude;

[0106] Calculating the air flow demand according to the initial air flow demand and the first change relationship;

[0107] Calculate the air flow requirement by using the following calculation:

[0108]

[0109] Among them, Q1 is the air flow demand, k2 is a constant, and H is the flight altitude corresponding to the target flight condition.

[0110] For example, the relationship between the air flow demand of the fuel cell system and the altitude when considering the change in oxygen concentration can be obtained based on the initial air flow demand Q0 and the first change relationship: Then, the above calculation formula for calculating the air flow requirement is determined according to the relationship, wherein Q is the air flow requirement of the fuel cell system, and H0 is different flight altitudes.

[0111] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the change in the required air flow of an air compressor with the altitude involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the third relationship and Figure 4 It can be seen that after considering the change of oxygen concentration with altitude, the air flow demand increases faster with the increase of altitude. The air flow is proportional to the speed of the air compressor. As the altitude increases, the speed of the air compressor needs to increase accordingly to match the greater air flow demand of the fuel cell stack.

[0112] Determine initial air flow requirements by:

[0113] Obtaining a first relationship between an air flow demand of a fuel cell system and an air compressor speed of an air compressor;

[0114] Obtaining a second relationship between the air compressor speed and the flight altitude;

[0115] Determining a third relationship between the air flow requirement of the fuel cell system and the flight altitude based on the first relationship and the second relationship;

[0116] According to the third relationship, the initial air flow requirement is calculated;

[0117] Calculate the initial air flow requirement by using the following calculation:

[0118] Q0=k0k1H

[0119] Among them, Q0 is the initial air flow demand, k0 and k1 are constants, and H is the flight altitude corresponding to the target flight condition.

[0120] For example, the first relationship can be expressed as Q0=k0N0, and the second relationship can be expressed as N0=k1H0. According to the first relationship and the second relationship, the third relationship can be obtained as Q0=k0k1H0, where N0 is the compressor speed of the air compressor, and H0 is different flight altitudes.

[0121] Specifically, the constant values ​​k0 and k1 are related to the specifications of the specific air compressor used. The relationship between the rate of compressed air flow and the air compressor speed of air compressors of different specifications will be different. Since a higher speed can provide more power, the air compressor can compress air faster and output it. Therefore, in general, the air flow of the air compressor is positively correlated with its speed, that is, as the speed increases, the air flow will also increase. The disclosed embodiment does not specifically limit the constant values ​​k0 and k1 and their determination methods.

[0122] In a possible manner, obtaining the first change relationship includes:

[0123] Collect oxygen content corresponding to different flight altitudes;

[0124] Performing curve fitting for different flight altitudes and oxygen contents corresponding to different flight altitudes to obtain a first variation relationship;

[0125] The first change relationship can be expressed by the following exponential relationship:

[0126] O2=O′2*e -k H0

[0127] Among them, O2 is the oxygen content relative to sea level, O2′ is the oxygen content at sea level, k is a constant, and H0 is the flight altitude.

[0128] For example, the oxygen content at different flight altitudes can be collected, and the different flight altitudes and each flight altitude data can be curve fitted. Through fitting, the change of oxygen content with the flight altitude can be approximated as an exponential relationship. Then, based on the exponential relationship and the initial air flow demand, the air flow demand of the air compressor of the fuel cell system under the target flight condition is calculated.

[0129] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the change of oxygen content with altitude involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, compared with the relative oxygen content at sea level, the relative oxygen content gradually decreases with increasing altitude.

[0130] Specifically, in addition to changes in altitude, the oxygen content may also have some slight changes in different geographical locations. These changes may be caused by a variety of factors. For example, in cities or industrial areas, the oxygen content may drop slightly due to the presence of air pollutants. Therefore, according to the actual application scenario, the oxygen content at different local altitudes corresponding to the aircraft can be measured, and the constant value k can be determined by curve fitting. The disclosed embodiments do not specifically limit the constant value k and its determination method.

[0131] In a possible manner, according to the air flow demand, determining the required power of the air compressor of the fuel cell system under the target flight condition includes:

[0132] Calculate the required power of the air compressor using the following formula:

[0133] P air1 =Q1P a k3 / η

[0134] Among them, P air1 is the required power of the air compressor, Q1 is the air flow requirement, P a is the working pressure of the air compressor, k3 is a constant, and η is the energy conversion efficiency of the air compressor.

[0135] For example, based on the initial air flow demand Q0, the initial air compressor power demand P of the air compressor can be obtained according to the following calculation formula without considering the change of oxygen concentration: air0 The calculation formula is:

[0136] P air0 =Q0P a k3 / η

[0137] Substituting the initial air flow demand Q0 calculated above into the equation:

[0138] P air0 =k0k1k3P a H / η

[0139] Therefore, when considering the change in oxygen concentration, based on the air flow demand Q1, the initial air compressor power demand P air0 The calculation formula can be obtained:

[0141] Among them, if the power unit is kW, the air flow unit is N*m3 / min, and the pressure Pa is bar, then k3 can be 101.325.

[0144] If the target flight condition is a climbing condition, the required power of the first stack of the fuel cell system under the climbing condition is calculated according to the following formula:

[0145] P stack1 =P air1 +P aff

[0146] Among them, P stack1 is the power required by the first stack, P air1 is the required power of the air compressor, P aff The power requirements of other auxiliary components of the fuel cell system;

[0147] If the target flight condition is a high-altitude level flight condition, the required power of the second stack of the fuel cell system under the high-altitude level flight condition is calculated according to the following calculation formula:

Figure 7 As shown, the flight conditions of the aircraft may include low-altitude level flight conditions, climbing conditions, high-altitude level flight conditions, landing conditions, and low-altitude level flight conditions. When considering the altitude factor, the required power of the fuel cell system increases in the climbing conditions, high-altitude level flight conditions, and landing conditions.

[0156] It is worth noting that after landing from a high altitude to a low altitude, the aircraft enters the level flight process again, that is, when the aircraft is in a low-altitude level flight condition, the fourth stack required power P of the air compressor can be calculated according to the following calculation formula: stack4 :

[0161] Wherein, P1 is the first required power of the fuel cell system when the flight altitude is not considered, and P2 is the second required power of the fuel cell system when the altitude is considered.

[0162] It should be understood that if the change in oxygen concentration with altitude is taken into account, the stack air flow requirement is greater when flying at high altitudes, and increasing the stack air flow will result in a small increase in stack power.
